Why I don’t like the pathologising expression “specific interest“: “Monotropism reframes one of the most pathologised parts of autistic life: the strong, absorbing interests. Through a deficit lens, a deep interest is a “restricted, repetitive” behaviour to be managed down. Through a monotropic lens, it is your attention system doing exactly what it is built to do, and doing it well.“ Monotropism: How Autistic and AuDHD Attention Actually Works https://www.heyasd.com/blogs/autism/monotropism #ActuallyAutistic #ADHD #AuDHD #monotropism #autism
